شو هالدنيا التراللي

http://www.wattan.tv/news/200512.html

منذ أيام وانا أحاول لجم نفسي عن الكتابة . فكل المواضيع كئيبة وضاغطة تفضي الى حالة من اليأس . المواضيع تتكرر في مأساويتها ولم يعد هناك اظلم من القعر الذي وصلنا اليه. كل يوم قصة متكررة لفساد  وسوء إدارة واحتلال يتجذر فينا كشجر الزيتون الذي صرنا نراه على مداخل المستعمرات.

قصص بطولات انية . لا تخصنا . اما لشهيد نستنفذ روحه في غيائنا وبكاؤنا المصطنع , او في البحث عن بطل او مجرم نتكلم عنه لبضع أيام لننساه ونلتهي باخر وهكذا.

او طبعا مسابقة كاراب ايدول لتلهينا وتخرج مواهبنا المقموعة.

لن أتكلم عن بطولة ريما خلف باستقالتها قبل أسبوعين من موعد تقاعدها من اجل تقرير اممي اخر. ولن اتربص لعلا عوض الوزيرة التي يبدو انها لم تعد تعجب احدهم . ولن اعلق على موضوع خالدة غوشة واسقاطها لمتخابر مع الاحتلال. ولن اتناول موضوع منى الخطيب وعاهرة رام الله  .

فلا يخفى على ريما خلف ان الجمعية…

Senator who voted for anti-trans ‘bathroom bill’ busted in hotel with underage boy – DeadState

According to the Moore Police Department, police went to “check on a juvenile at the Super 8 Motel in Moore last Thursday.” When they found Shortey and the juvenile, who is 17, there was allegedly a “strong smell of marijuana” and an open box condoms in the juvenile’s bag. Shortey claimed he had simply gone to the hotel to “hang out with a friend.”Police say the juvenile’s parents said he has a history of soliciting himself online. KFOR reports that communication records show the teen told Shortey that he needed money for spring break, to which Shortey allegedly responded, “would you be interested in ‘sexual’ stuff?”In the wake of his arrest, the Oklahoma Senate voted to bar Shortey from all his work as a Senator. He is married with three children and was also the manager for Donald Trump’s campaign during the primaries.

Netanyahu’s Alt-Zionism has no need for American Jews | +972 Magazine

is it the crystallization of a new, frightening brand of Zionism so distorted from the past that it can only be called, Alt-Zionism — a rabid dog wagged by its extremist, Jewish fundamentalist tail? The current government’s Alt-Zionism demonizes the press, decapitates the Israeli Supreme Court, rids the Knesset of Arab representation, passes unjust laws that threaten to turn Israel into a pariah apartheid state, and has no need for any diaspora Jewry that doesn’t fund the Judaization of East Jerusalem and the West Bank.Driving a wedge between Israel and U.S. Jewry while threatening their already wilting symbiosis is corrupt on a profound, Big-History scale. A country where Jews are safe is imperative. A world without the Jewish diaspora, however, is unthinkable.Benjamin Netanyahu fancies himself a historically significant leader, a kind of Jewish Winston Churchill; he has gone on record repeatedly about his deep admiration for the British prime minister who risked isolation and unpopularity before World War II rather than negotiate with Nazi Germany. But Netanyahu, in throwing the American Jewish community under the bus of right-wing Israeli fanaticism, has proven himself to be more of a Marshal Pétain.

Kid Rock blasts foreign-made grills out of the sky with shotgun: ‘In your face, China!”: Shanghaiist

Badass as that may have been, some Facebook commenters wonder if Rock had completely thought this ad through beforehand:”I’m not sure he knows that the camera, computer and TV equipment he used to film this was made in China. Kid Rock might not be the brightest bulb in the box.””That is a trebuchet. The first traction trebuchets were invented by the Chinese around the 4th century BC.””I wonder if the shoes kid rock is wearing is made in the USA?”

John Saad: The Lebanese Filth Whose Favorite Hobby Is To Kick Helpless Cats For Fun | A Separate State of Mind | A Blog by Elie Fares

This man is John Saad. People like him are the embodiment of those in society who trample on those who are weaker than them in order to express their testosterone surges, thinking what they’re doing is a manifestation of them being all macho and powerful. What they don’t know is that this behavior shows them to be what they are: bullies, cowards, lifeless scumbags who should never be interacting with any living creature, apart from themselves, behind bars, somewhere deep and dark.I’m ashamed to say this filth comes from the same region as me, Batroun. He was a Computer Sciences student at the University of Balamand before dropping out and leaving the university. According to officials there, he has also changed his contact information. Since being unveiled as the psychopath in the videos, John Saad has changed his name and accounts on social medias to someone named Toufic for fear of retribution, before deleting his social media accounts altogether, but he does not know that screenshots are there forever:
